Guest Voices: Sam Thomason, Amy Thomason, and Jessica Brown
I did not find the VoiceThread to be as hard as I expected. Once I had uploaded all of the pictures to my story, adding comments to them was not difficult. I thought the website was very straight forward and easy to maneuver, which was very helpful in finishing the last activity of our story. Doing this portion of the project was fun because I was able to see my words and my friends illustrations come to life as I put words to the pages. Creating the book is a good hands one visual I will be able to have, but the VoiceThread is a neat audio and visual medium though technology that I will be able to see after having my book. This would be an interactive tool for my students to use in my classroom one day. After doing a group project where they created a story, they could use the VoiceThread to read their story out loud, or they could do a VoiceThread after completing the imaginative narrative prompt. This would help them to give the story their own voice and make it feel meaningful to them because it is their total work for others to hear and see.
